Magic Midnight Butterflies Poem by Joe Wocoski

Magic Midnight Butterflies



Late at night maple butterflies hover
Over iridescent white flowers;
Spreading their love from one flower
To another, unseen by all.

Secretly they flutter in the breeze
Where no one can see them at all.
In the darkness they make their magic
Bringing blossoms from buds to life.

From one flower, then on to another,
They spread their nighttime magic;
Until all are blooming in the night,
And ready to surprise the daylight Sun.

A walk in a garden, or down a path
Reveal their nighttime work
Of flowers blooming everywhere
Without being cared for by man.

(from 'Snowed in by a Warm Fire')

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
If you are quiet and there is a full Moon you too might see this... for Moonlight has a surprisingly iridescent effect on some types of tiger butterflies almost making them seem magical in your night garden.
